"Erwa, you said they should have arrived, why haven't they disappeared now?"

"Mom, wait a little longer, didn't my uncle call, it should be soon!" Liu Yi comforted his mother, and also looked at the flat and winding country road with an expectant expression.

After Liu Yi had dinner yesterday, he received a call from his uncle and several of them who had already set off for their return, and according to the uncle's call, the fishing grounds where they went to buy fish fry were quite large, and there were many kinds of aquatic products.

The quality of the sturgeon fry purchased this time is also very good, and when the owner of the fishing farm over there, Uncle Zhilu, who was a farmer in the past, was more worried about the high temperature in the mountain city and the unfavorable breeding environment for the sturgeon.

However, later my uncle said that the area and environment of the Songlingou Reservoir contracted by Liu Yi, and the boss over there couldn't help but praise the reservoir as a good place to breed sturgeon, because the Songlingou Reservoir is full of living water all year round, and the stream water flowing out of the mountains is very cool even in the hot summer, and will not change with the high temperature.

Later, when the owner of the fishery saw his uncle, they all drove there in a special car, and in addition to the sturgeon fry they purchased, he also recommended some other species of fish and shrimp to them, saying that the effect of polyculture is much better than that of monoculture.

Last night, my uncle called Liu Yi to discuss this matter, Liu Yi doesn't care, as long as the reservoir can accommodate it, breeding a few more varieties of shrimp, crabs and fish will only be good for him.

A few minutes after Liu Yi finished talking to his mother, the sharp-eyed Liu Yi saw the truck driven by Li Xiaokang from a distance. The anxious mother said, "Mom, when I arrived, I have already seen their car!" ”

"Oh, that's good, that's good, I haven't seen what a sturgeon looks like, hehe, I didn't expect our family to be able to breed this thing." Mother's face was happy, to be honest, Liu Yi gave her too many surprises after returning to the village, but this would not stop her mother from looking strange.

The car slowly drove from far and near to Liu Yi's side and stopped. When they saw that several people around Liu Yi didn't say hello. Hurriedly said to Liu Yi: "Let's hurry up and get these shrimp, crab and fish fry out of the car, I'm afraid that there will be an accident when I stay in the car for a long time." ”

After 10 hours of bumpy travel in one night, my uncle squinted in the car for a while and came back with the fry overnight. Why would you choose to travel at night, it is only because the temperature is relatively low at night. Beneficial to the survival of fry reduces the impact on fry.

The uncle and Liu Jun, who got off one after another, just gave Liu Yi a look and went to the water tank in the cargo box to fish for fry. They seem to have discussed it a long time ago. As soon as you come back, you can transfer the fish fry in a race against time!

The fruit seedlings in Liu Yi's orchard yesterday were all replanted, and today he invited the fourth brother Liu Yong, the uncle and several nearby villagers to come over and watch his uncle busy transferring the fish fry. Someone was also called to help.

Here, Liu Yi looked at Li Xiaokang, who had just gotten out of the car, his eyes were a little red and swollen, obviously he didn't sleep well after driving overnight yesterday, Liu Yi was a little reluctant: "Xiaokang, look, this time it's really troublesome for you." ”

"Brother Liu, don't say that, I also drove it with my buddy, he was still sleeping in the car in the middle of the night before driving, and driving like this for the sake of life is not hard to think about people who are sadder than our lives." Li Xiaokang was quite open when he arrived.

"Thank you anyway, come to me for a light meal at noon, and don't shirk this time like last time."

"Okay, I will respond to Brother Liu's request, but it will be disrespectful." After speaking, he saw that everyone on the side was transferring the fish fry, and he also stepped forward to help.

Mother was really looking at the strangeness, and when everyone had unloaded all the fry on the side of the road, she looked at every fry, and saw that the sturgeon was just a long flat shape, and muttered, "This looks a bit like a mullet!" ”

This is just a rough look at the mother, if you carefully observe the sturgeon and the mullet compared to the gap is still not small, first of all, the head of the sturgeon is plough-shaped, the mouth is lower, the tail is crooked, and the body back has 5 rows of bone plates.

Secondly, the sturgeon is an ancient fish, a cartilaginous and hard-scaled fish, the fish is small and a little difficult to identify, and the bigger it grows, the more obvious it is, and the mullet cannot be confused at all.

The sturgeon fry purchased by Liu Yi this time are not precious and endangered species, but hybrid varieties that have been artificially bred and cultivated. There are more than 10 species of sturgeon hybridized in China, such as small sturgeon, glitter sturgeon, tall sturgeon, short-nosed sturgeon, Russian sturgeon, Chinese sturgeon, European sturgeon, spoon's sturgeon, and Da's sturgeon. Hybrid sturgeon have also emerged that use the principle of hybrid dominance to hybridize sturgeon between species and genera.

The main species that have been studied in artificial reproduction in various countries in the world are: hybrid sturgeon is the product of interspecific or intergenus hybrid breeding of sturgeon, which has the advantages of large individuality, fast growth, strong disease resistance, and large number of eggs, and can live in fresh water and brackish water, and is a more suitable species in commercial breeding. Under the condition of a large increase in the demand for fish in the market, a certain supply problem has been solved.

The sturgeon's fat and flesh are layered in layers, the flesh is white, and the fat is like wax. There are three main types of hybrid sturgeon: (1) Heilongjiang hybrid sturgeon: (2) Sturgeon sturgeon× Russian hybrid sturgeon: European sturgeon (female) × small sturgeon (male) (3) Artificially raised Sturgeon (male) × wild Chinese sturgeon (female) The first two are more common on the market.

The sturgeon fry that Liu Yi bought this time is a fry bred by the cross of the European sturgeon (female) × the small body sturgeon (male), because the hybrid sturgeon is a commercial fish formed by crossbreeding, so it does not belong to the international and national protection lists, but can be sold.

Liu Yi couldn't help but feel very happy about this, he was going to apply for a special breeding license from Lu Shang again, but the mountain village where Liu Yi is located is planned within the controllable range of the park, and it is very likely to be developed in the future.

Therefore, this year, the above also banned the application for planting and breeding permits, and Liu Yi regretted that he could not apply for a special breeding license for sturgeon, but also felt fortunate that he had done a good job of the orchard cooperative certificate last year.

Sturgeon farming in the Liuyi Reservoir is not based on the usual farming method, but cage farming, because the sturgeon is an omnivore, and in the process of its growth, it will eat a lot of plankton and also eat small fish, shrimp and crabs, which is unacceptable for Liu Yi.

The location of the sturgeon's cages in the reservoir has also been chosen for a long time, that is, in the reservoir near the viewing corridor, there is a backwater tuo, which is equivalent to a small harbor, even if the upstream water does not have a great impact on this location.

Successively transfer all the fish fry, shrimp and crabs to the edge of the reservoir, at this time can not be put into the water immediately, because the water transported with the fry is different from the temperature of the pond water in the reservoir, you must mix a part of the pond water into the water tank, wait for the water in the tank and the pond water in the reservoir when the temperature is almost the same, you can put the fry into the reservoir.

Now there are still many fish in the reservoir that have not been cleaned up, and the cage Liu Yi has already called, and it is not yet done in the customization, so these fish, shrimp and crab fry can only be used to get them into the reservoir with a dense net for a few days.

"Erwa, should we take turns to take care of it at night?" Uncle Yi looked at the fish fry that had been put into the reservoir and said to Liu Yi.

"There shouldn't be any problem with putting it inside, I don't think it's necessary!"

However, my uncle's opinion was obviously different from Liu Yi's, but looking at the many villagers watching the excitement next to him, he attached himself to Liu Yi's ear and said: "I think it's better to take someone over to take care of it, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, the fish fry in it cost us nearly 100,000 yuan in total, it's better to be cautious." ”

Seeing a serious look on his uncle's face, Liu Yi thought about it and felt that it made some sense, nodded and said, "I'll come here that night, you have all worked hard for a few days, so go back home and sleep peacefully." ”

Uncle Yi wanted to say something, but Liu Yi said resolutely again and again: "Okay, uncle, this is not a big deal, when the time comes, I will bring the dogs over, I don't think anyone has the courage to try, and I can't take care of it for a few days, and when the cage is bought back and put in the middle of the reservoir, no one has the ability to get it." ”

"Alright, so be it!"

To be honest, because of the relationship between climate and river pollution, sturgeon is indeed rare in mountain towns, but it is still a relatively common aquatic product in other places, especially in northern China. Liu Yi also checked the price on the Internet, and a kilogram can be sold for about 30-40 yuan, which is much higher than a general freshwater fish, but it is too far from other precious fish of hundreds and one catties.

However, because of the climate, the sturgeon outside will not be very fresh after a long journey of transportation, and as long as Liu Yi is successfully raised, the profits obtained are also immeasurable.

Along with this purchase, there are also prawns, according to my uncle, which are highly recommended by the fishery owner to breed, and the main species of prawns purchased are vannamei shrimp.

This kind of shrimp has a fast growth rate, strong disease resistance, and adapts to the vast waters, and Liu Yi's conditions here can fully meet the growth of shrimp, so the owner of the fishing farm in southern Hunan specially recommended it and gave Liu Yi a lot of discounts, but the boss also wanted to open more seedling markets.

Crabs don't need to be talked about by Liu Yi, they are ordinary hairy crabs, the water quality of Liuyi Reservoir is pollution-free, and the quality of the crabs that want to be bred is not ordinary.

Liu Yi silently estimated in his heart that he spent 100,000 yuan to buy seedlings, but there seemed to be a lot of fish, shrimp and crab seedlings that could be transported back, and all of them were put into the reservoir, so he was really diligent in management.

I don't know if the vegetables cultivated by special chemical fertilizers are effective in feeding these fish, shrimp and crab seedlings, but if they can work, the value of the fish farmed in this reservoir will increase exponentially.

It is to take good care of it and cherish it! (To be continued......)
